You can notify the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) of a notifiable construction project[19] using online form F10.

You must know the contact details for the client, principal designer and principal contractor.

Once you have submitted a notification, we will send you a unique serial number which you can use to access or edit your notification.

If the client is a:

  • commercial client, then they must notify HSE
  • domestic client – notification must be carried out by the:
    • contractor (or principal contractor if there is more than one contractor)
    • principal designer where there is a written agreement that they will carry out the client's duties

HSE no longer processes hard copy/paper-based forms, or accepts notifications submitted by email or post.

All notifications should be made using the online form.
